Welcome to RF. Does your religion require you to post here?
How did you settle on the name?
Welcome aboard. What are the tenets of your religion?

The name of the religion is Walngarpiril. Walngarpiril is also the name of a demigoddess representing humanity. I use Walngarpiril's name as a metonym for the religion because religiosity is part of her embodiment. The name is based on the phonology of a conlang phonetically based on indigenous Australian languages called Myarlngalang. In Myarlngalang, female names start with W and male names start with Y.
Welcome to RF. I've always thought it be very cool for a new religion to start here on the forums. So best of luck.
here's a few questions to get you started;
1. Is your new religion simply a creative project for yourself or do you think you have a special and unique mission or knowledge to share with the world (i.e. as a prophet or messiah)?
2. Are you starting a religion from scratch or are you willing to borrow from existing religions for inspiration and guidance?
3. Have you been religious in the past? what religions have you followed? Do you think they've had an influence on your new religion?

The Walngarpiril priesthood (ngirlam) is fed by tribute from the Myarlngalang burlngkan caste collected by the kangkwarl caste.

Walngarpiril encourages religious dialogue but does not specify any particular medium.

That is essentially the question of this whole thread so I'm sure it will be answered in my numerous other replies.

It all becomes clear now. Thank you your highness
Does your religion not allow you to not describe nothing about your tenets on a message forum in a list format?

Walngarpiril started as a religion that I created for a conculture called Myarlngalang in an alternate history project. I started assimilating to it when I realized its greater congruence with my worldview than that of hinduism, which I had been informally following previously. My practice of Walngarpiril is different from the orthodox form historically practiced by the Myarlngalang people as I have to reconcile my beliefs with modern knowledge by either ignoring or metaphorically interpreting the more superstitious aspects of the religion.
Although hinduism had a lot of influence on the earlier drafts of the religion, it has diverged a lot and now it is only the deities that have some approximate hindu analogs.

Yes it does allow me but I don't have to. I would rather the tenets be explained gradually as more people read the thread and ask more questions.
Thanks. I voted "everyone should make up their own religion" and "believing your own religion is legitimate" in the Poll.
If you are interested, you can go to your user tab (at the top right hand of the page), click on the personal details tab, and there should be a series of tick boxes. If you want a "safe space" to discuss your own religion (or "DIR"/Discuss individual religions) and develop ideas, you may want to click on the box for the "New Religious Movements DIR".
Does your religion require its followers to explain the religion's tenets gradually?
What about the the tennis of your religion? I have yet to encounter a religion with tennis in it.

Thanks for the info.
My religion has tennis. Well at least it did until its only adherent blew out his knee.

No it does not require that.
